What is Lakeland PTO?

We are a nonprofit group of parents, teachers, and staff working together to support the educational experience of the students at Lakeland Elementary School. 

Our Mission Statement

“Our mission is to develop a partnership between home, school and the community so that we may cooperate with care and intelligence in the education of our children.”

If you'll be submitting Membership Dues in cash, please place inside an envelope and write Lakeland PTO on the envelope with your first and last name.  Cash envelopes should be turned into the main office.  

 

What are the benefits of membership?

• Joining the PTO Gives You a Voice:  Vote on PTO business, run for office, and let others know what is important to you
• Get Connected:  Meet and get to know other parents, teachers, and staff, share ideas, concerns, and experiences
• Make a Difference:  Put your skills and experience to use and make a positive impact on your child’s school experience and the experience of all students and staff at Lakeland,   support building improvements, curriculum-based programs, social/family events, field trips, and many other enrichment opportunities 
• Be a Role Model:  By becoming a PTO member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.  

If I join the PTO, what am I committing to?  

The short answer is, nothing!  You can be as involved as your time and interest allows.  Just by paying your membership dues you are making a financial contribution to the PTO that helps us support Lakeland. We have many volunteer opportunities throughout the school year that are event specific (ex: Fall Festival) and yearlong (ex: classroom rep).  We also hold monthly board meetings that are open to the public.  Every contribution you make directly impacts the students and staff at Lakeland Elementary.
